Proceeding contribution from Andrew Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on University Admission.


University Admission

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate. I am following his argument with interest. Does he agree that the arrangements, critical though he was of them, that the last Labour Government put in place have had an impact? For example, Oxford university's first access agreement with OFFA resulted in increased applications from students in state schools to the extent that they rose from 6,000 to 7,624, an increase of 27%. That exhortation has had an effect.
